There was a shortage of towels and one pillow case missing. Cleanliness was not as good as expected but we enjoyed our Christmas break.

Ideally placed for walks and places of interest. Picture of living room/dining room/kitchen was deceiving, it was a lot smaller in reality. Overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired. Glitter on the bedside table, very dusty around the stereo and unit it was sat on, crumbs under the dining table, mold in all the bathrooms, food and a toy car under the sofa seats and dog hair not removed from any of the cushions. Plus only 1 shelf in the oven making it difficult to cook for 6 adults. We did try to report these issues but there was no one available at reception, possibly due to it being new year. I would recommend it but it would need a proper clean first and the patio area would need to be finished and functioning, it's the only thing that let the property down really. Overall there's room for improvement but a nice property.

Staff were amenable and obliging with no query being too much trouble. A pleasant atmosphere all round. Thank you.
